Norway is basically just mountains and fjords so the roads are seldom straight.

This is the landscape you will be mostly driving through

And the further north you get the worse the road conditions will be, not to mention parts of the "highway" up there goes through the towns with lower speed limit. People up north likes to joke about the infrastructure being bad up there just to slow down Russia if they ever decide to invade.

On the plus side, it's a beautiful road trip to make. Much more enjoyable than driving down south near the capital where it's less mountainous but better highway.

I'd also like to point out that 29 hours is 1 day and 5 hours, so not that far off from the fastest route if you go through Sweden.

I'd also like to point out that 29 hours is 1 day and 5 hours, so not that far off from the fastest route if you go through Sweden.< Yeah thats my point. It took me too long to realize that it is only 6 hours more. 35 hours vs 29 hours or 1d5h and 1d1hh. Conversion problem. When everything else is metric, you can get it wrong some times, my bad.
